How much ET will i pick up

I know a guy that made a pass in his low 14 second street car with the emergency brake activated. Once he discovered this, he was all excited about how much faster he would go. He was sverely disappointed! Picked up a negligible amount; maybe a few hundreths. Why? A body in motion stays in motion. Yes, drag is bad in racing but once you break the
grip of the brakes loose (on launch), the hard part is done. And I think an excessive amount of toe would be more detrimental than cam.ber. But by all means, fix the problems. Eventually they'll all ad up!
